Glamour, bon mots, and mythos define this tribute to our city's comedic heritage. There are "aha"s throughout Harold Lloyd's Speedy and Buster Keaton's The Camerman, which present Manhattan locales (Washington Square, Mott Street, etc) circa 1928; battle-of-the-sexes screwball antics with Leo McCarey's The Awful Truth and the Kate-and-Spencer classic Adam's Rib by George Cukor; plus The Thin Man's debonair sleuthing, Bob Fosse's Fellini-inspired musical Sweet Charity, and Astaire polishing up his light-footed rapport with Rogers in Swing Time. Other picks from the treasury include the original and superior Producers, Billy Wilder's charm-a-rama The Apartment, and Milos Forman's first made-in-the-USA effort, Taking Off.
